Chinese New Year is a bit like Christmas. Of course, there are presents, parties and lots of food, but it’s also one of those holidays that defines a whole season and goes on long after the actual day has passed...

Pomino is a neighbourhood Italian / Tuscan restaurant in South London. With luck, and a little investment, the idea will soon be rolled out into other neighbourhoods. It’s an unpretentious, relaxed spot serving

Lookswise, Preem is functional rather than ostentatious. To be blunt, there’s not a lot to make it stick out from its crowd of Brick Lane rivals but that’s not meant as a criticism...

Restaurant reviewers really would like to be able to say every place is wonderful and enumerate the multiple virtues of their dining experiences, if for no other reason than the fact that it would mean all their dining experiences actually were entirely wonderful. Meanwhile........

It seems it’s a challenge to recreate the experience of real Italian dining in the UK. I am always on the look out for a restaurant that can produce the mouth-watering freshness of real Italian cooking.

A restaurant with its art in the right place.Not all parts of London’s West End are created equally. The Haymarket has theatres and cinemas but is a dining-out blackspot.

Close your eyes and think pink when you think of Kerala. Diana Vreeland, the late doyenne of American fashion, once famously said “Pink is the navy blue of India”. Living proof of this is to be seen in at least four locations in London...

Restaurants with an EC postcode come and go like government pledges. I’ve lost track of how many evening visits I’ve taken to sparsely occupied City eateries where some bewildered staff member tells me “it’s really buzzing at lunchtimes”.

Stepping through from the hotel lobby, Refettorio is a warm and welcoming. It’s achingly stylish, yet it becomes clear, within seconds, that this is not a victory of style over substance. This is all about the food and the drink.

Off and on the beaten track with old age, wrinkles and railway arches. There is a wonderful scene in Woody Allen’s film, Annie Hall, of a house underneath the roller coaster in Coney Island that shook every time the roller coaster went overhead...

Looks like The Oxo Tower isn’t the only good restaurant on the South Bank. Located on the second floor of the famous building, River Walk boasts similar stunning views and excellent – and reasonably priced – food.

There's no doubt that the Oxo Tower ought to be the ideal venue for an
aspiring new restaurant. Stunning views, a landmark piece of real estate,
and convenient access for the hungry hordes....

The Maxwell’s Group, as regular readers of the site will be aware, is one of London’s most stalwart "give-the-public-what-they-want" chains. Their burger/steaks/chicken heavy menus are hugely reliable and excellent value. However..
